There are two types of colleges which we can obtain several differences about the social class of his students or status symbols, among other things. I refer to the public schools versus the private or compound colleges.
In the case of private or compound colleges we can say that the students are of high social class while the students of public schools are in the habit of being middle or low class.
Respect the symbols we can say that the private use uniforms and used to be religious, also they are smallers and have less students, but more money to have good materials.
As for the publics ones are bigger and have more students than the others. The teachers have betters studies because they must to pass a few examinations to be able to be employed at the public institutions.
In conclusion the private institutions have better materials and they are for persons of a higher social status while the public schools are free education and have a better prepared teachers.
